Two days before their Sunday home opener, the Steelers will kick off the weekend with a black-and-gold North Shore street party and some country music at Stage AE on Friday.

The rally outside Heinz Field is free for all fans, starting at 4 p.m. and hosted by DJ Steve Maffei. Highlights will include live music by House of Soul, appearances by former players Shaun Suisham and Charlie Batch, a performance by the Pittsburgh Steeline drumline, team mascot Steely McBeam and a prize wheel with giveaways.
